[NOTE: CORRECTED POST] This profile of DC lawyer Michael Berman appears in the LA Times. It begins: "Michael Berman is a Democratic loyalist and lawyer who has helped organize 10 presidential nominating conventions, worked on 11 presidential campaigns and served two presidents. He is also a man known to eat an entire salami, 2 pounds of chocolate or a 40-ounce steak in a single sitting. Once during a starvation diet in a hospital, he hallucinated cheeseburgers. He has weighed as much as 337 pounds." "His just-released book, 'Living Large: A Big Man's Ideas on Weight, Success and Acceptance,' is a revealing memoir about being fat in the image-conscious business of politics."
NOTE: An earlier version of this post incorrectly confused
D.C.'s Michael Berman with Rep. Howard Berman's brother, Michael
Berman, a democratic strategist in California. I regret the error.
